A NEW TREND AMONG GBAGYI PEOPLE - 2 months ago

Gbagyi people are now greeting each other "SANU" in the morning, afternoon, and evening. No more Agyefe and Azewi.  And our children are picking up this unfortunate trend very fast. Not only have we lost our traditional way of greeting in the afternoon. Now, we have adopted the hausa word "sanu" and now use it to greet every moment of the day. 

From my childhood to my adulthood, I have seen this language die gradually as it is being replaced with hausa words. I think at this point the language is gone🤔. 

The core thing that distinguished a language from another, which is greeting, has been lost

So many languages in northern Nigeria have been overwhelmed by the unwisely use of hausa as a medium of communication that have resulted to code mixing and code-switching and hence extinction of those beautiful languages. Gbagyi people don't want to learn a lesson from them 

Unfortunately, my people are careless about it and people don't care whether we greet properly with our language or not.

I rest my case... May God help  Gbagyi people to see the relevance of language and identity in our society like Nigeria. It's a terrible thing to be lost in another man's identity (language).
